Explains that if her condition were critical she would do more. In the mean time she focuses on reducing stress.

 



I suppose if my blood pressure had been so dangerous that I'd been told: 'You really are in danger of actually having a heart attack any time', yes of course I would have taken far more drastic measures. I probably would have given up something that I'm involved in. But somehow I can't quite get worked up enough about it to make those changes because they're difficult to make. I mean there is a certain amount of apathy, because what do I cut out of my life in order for it to be less stressful? There are things I'm trying to reduce on my own, not physical stresses but mental stresses really. I think that's something only I can work on anyway and I have tried to do that.
